honored

Thursday, fifty living veterans of various wars were honored at the dedication of the War Memorial in our little town. It was a great time to honor these living vets who gave so much in service to their country. I knew so many who were honored as I see them daily, coming and going, in their busy lives. It was an amazing celebration on a gorgeous day - I was so happy to be there. My mom looked so pretty as she marched up to receive her recognition.

These pictures don't show but, there are many walls filled with names and they are double-sided. I will have to return and get a pic of the entire plaza. Very impressive and humbling.
